I know about the organic, vegan, essential oil stuffs like BPAL and Pacifica and stuff like that, but what big name perfumes are vegan? Back in the day I was wearing Stella McCartney which was veg and awesome, and I intend on getting more but it's a special scent to save for special days. What do you guys know and love when it comes to fine fragrances?

I hope this isn't too off-topic but what is it that usually makes perfumes non-vegan? Animal testing? An ingredient? I haven't worn it in a few years because I haven't felt the need but I used to wear Stella too.

Probably mostly just testing these days. There are synthetics for almost everything, and they are cheaper than the old musks and other animal ingredients.

A lot of the designer perfumes are distributed by companies that test like Coty. Chanel and Dior are self-distributed and don't test, but Calvin Klein is distributed by a testing conglomerate I think.

I have the origins ginger, it's the only one that doesn't give me a migraine. I used the soap & body soufflé t'other week and mid conversation one of my friends suddenly said "you smell really good, what is that?!". She has a fine nose for scents, can tell you everything that is in soap or perfumes with a couple of sniffs, so it was a pretty nice compliment.

I hope (Thierry Mugler's) Angel is vegan. I have a bottle that has been around forever and I want to buy more when I run out. I've been wearing it since the 90's. Anyone know? I think we had a thread for perfume somewhere else and other people also wore Angel?

I think I saw that Chanel Chance is vegan? That's what I've been wearing for, um, 10 years? Or so? Yikes!

Aghh. I made a quick google search ("stella in two vegan") and the link for that stella's and meatmeat's interview showed up. Pfff.

According to Wikipedia "All Jean Paul Gaultier perfumes are produced under a long-term license by Paris-based Beauté Prestige International, a division of the Japanese company Shiseido that also produces fragrances for Narciso Rodriguez, Elie Saab and Issey Miyake."

I don't know about Gaultier, but I do know the parent company Shiseido test.

Someone on another vegan board got an email regarding Chanel No 5 being vegan OK.

There are synthetic sources for most of the animal ingredients in perfume now. I don't think that too many companies use genuine musk. Ambergris is about the most disgusting thing ever...
